Barcelona had previously tried to sign Rice two years ago but their talks were futile. This time, Khimki’s demands for the player were reduced on Monday afternoon, thus the deal was achieved.
The 29–year–old American/Montenegrin point guard played for Khimki the previous 2 seasons. He’s also been in Maccabi, Bayern, Lietuvos Rytas, Artland Dragons and Panionios.
